The 38-year-old fashion designer - who has children Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, seven-year-old Cruz, and 16-month-old daughter Harper with David - was chauffeured in between four different South London mansions in a silver Range Rover.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Wherever [David] ends up, a house in the capital is a perfect investment. It means Victoria can be close to her blossoming fashion business. And the schools are among the best in the world."

The viewings included a four-storey 17th century house worth £9 million ($14.4 million) and a renovated £6 million ($9.6 million) pad near TV chef Gordon Ramsay's family home.

Victoria also visited a lavish Grade II listed building near the Thames, which is on the market for £18 million ($28.8 million)and features seven bedrooms, a wine cellar and gym.

However, the stylish star is said to have been completely won over by the fourth property, a £10 million ($16 million) mansion which was rented out by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie last year.

The source added: "She fell in love with it straight away. It was the most secluded out of all of them."
